Clinton Campaign Visits Cranmore
Presidential Hopeful Hillary Clinton Talks With Voters At New
Hampshire's Cranmore Mountain.
 Democratic
Presidential Contender Senator Hillary Clinton visited Cranmore Mountain
in North Conway, New Hampshire, on Thursday for a roundtable discussion
with 10 undecided voters. The discussion covered topics ranging from
alternative fuels, health care and foreign policy. Clinton invited
Cranmore GM Ben Wilcox and Operations Director Jim Mersereau to join in
the discussion and to share the resort’s experience in converting their
grooming fleet to biodiesel in 2003.
Cranmore officials said they were selected for the honor of hosting the
candidate’s first visit to Carroll County based on its long-standing
commitment to the use of biodiesel fuel and other green initiatives.
Clinton arrived at Cranmore the morning of November 8 and was escorted
into the Eating House past some of the resort’s energy-efficient snow
guns and bio-fuel burning Bombardier grooming vehicles. The round-table
meeting took place in the rustic ski lodge surrounded by the 70-year-old
ski area’s vintage signs depicting the Skimobile lift and the Hannes
Schneider Ski School.
The candidate was treated to Cranmore’s hospitality, being served hot
cocoa with whipped cream from hand-crafted mugs provided by the local
coffeehouse, The Metropolitan. Clinton received a gift from Cranmore
consisting of one of the mugs, a Cranmore fleece, made locally by Chuck
Roast of North Conway, a copy of the new Cranmore North Conway magazine
and a pair of Cranmore Season Passes; one each for Hillary and Bill
Clinton.
